A new town home development is set to rise adjacent to Lumina Station.

Called Spartina, the 22 units will be constructed in six buildings on 1.8 acres on Allens Lane, said Jim Wallace, who with Joel Tomaselli and Doug Foster is developing the project as Allens Lane Partners LLC.

"We expect to start clearing the land on Monday," Wallace said Thursday. He hopes the project will get started within 90 days. He also said developers would upgrade Allens Lane, currently unpaved, to city standards.

"The biggest thing is its walkability. You won't have to use your car," Wallace said, pointing out the restaurants and other shopping at Lumina Station and at Harris Teeter.

The town homes will range in size from 1,450 to 2,500 square feet and from two bedrooms and two and a half baths to three bedrooms and three and a half baths. All units will have two-car garages.

Marketed by Intracoastal Realty, their prices will range from $335,000 to $483,000.

Wallace, president of Intracoastal, is a partner with Tomaselli in Lumina Station.
